DREAM OF THE SHADOW
CHAPTER 1
"Turtle. Step aside dong. Narrow nih." Jefri's voice boomed in class 10-2 SMU Hope Kita. A slightly stocky girl advanced a bit of her body that had been pulled off in the hallway of the classroom. The break is over. They sit back in their seats. The teacher who was most feared by the students of one school even entered with his definite steps, must have been terrible.
"Kids. I assessed the results of your physics review last week" Bertha's mother said in a hoarse voice.
"Highest score of 98 was achieved by Yuna Sakura." The stocky girl who was often mocked because of her posture was also forward to take the exam paper.
After school in the OSIS room, there were some students who were gathered there.
"So we will hold leadership training at the Atmajaya guesthouse on Saturday and Sunday. We stayed there one night. Just bring enough clothes, do not wear a suitcase. Just backpacks." said Joshua, chairman of OSIS.
Those in the room were only elected as administrators in that year so they did not know each other closely. The announcement made the managers in the room cheer happily. Including Yuna and her best friend Rebecca who was chosen to be the caretaker of the Intra School Student Organization, or OSIS at the school. Yuna is known to be smart, but she is often a material in her class. Either because his body is a bit thick or because of his last name Sakura which makes him often called a turtle by his friends. He was given the name Sakura because his father was a native Japanese. Yuna is actually not too fat. It's just that since childhood he was quite fertile.
"Yes!! It's pretty good we can have a Yuna vacation" Becca said.
"Hussis..Who said it was a holiday? We'll get a lot of material there. There are no mobile phones from morning to evening." continued the Ketos, aka the chairman of OSIS.
"Shua, what are we going up there?" ask Deni, treasurer's part.
"There's a bus from school. We gather here at 6:30 in the morning. No one is late. We're staying late and you're gonna have to pay a fine of two hundred thousand plus to be removed from the management of OSIS." Joshua is famous for being cold when he was gathered for the OSIS business. But beyond that, he's a fun friend. Shua is a popular guy at her school. In addition to the head of OSIS he was also a drummer in the school band. He is also the son of a very wealthy property entrepreneur. Yeah, a perfect life for a guy at his age.

Yuna ran towards the bus with a banner that read "OSIS Leadership Training Activity SMU Hope Kita".
"Yuna, donk's spit." cried Becca from the bus window. Yuna seemed to have trouble running with the backpack on her shoulders. Sure, he rarely works out. Especially now that he had to run with the weight of his backpack. He saw Shua standing at the bus door looking at his watch.
"Yes, you're lucky. 6.29. Coming in!" Shua tilted her body so Yuna could enter. Yuna. He caught his breath and sat down next to Becca.
"Can't it be late?" ask Becca.
"Sir Agus again picked up papa at the airport. I waited for an online taxi a long time ago. His brother's having breakfast, I want to cancel he said no, just be done. Uh don't know how to finish. Twenty minutes later he was home. Wanna be angry pity too." replied Yuna.
"You're too good to be a person. Poor mulu." ketus Becca. Yuna took the chocolate from inside her bag and started chewing it.
"Say she wanted to diet" Becca said.
"The diet starts tomorrow." Yuna laughs. He saw the beautiful Becca. Her hair was curly from birth, but her curls were very beautiful. Her skin was not as white as Yuna's, but her body was perfect.
They had fun on the bus. Farhan vice-chairman of OSIS brought a guitar and played the song Kita from Sheila on Seven. There were no teachers on the bus because they had been in the guesthouse since last night.
Arriving at the guesthouse, the training event immediately began. Their phones are collected so as not to interfere with activities. It all feels boring when the material is given. But everything changed when the game started. Students pair up with students. They have to tie their legs side by side and will run with other couples. Yuna was confused when no students invited her to pair up. They assumed Yuna would not be able to run fast because of her posture. Yuna resigned, she walked to the edge of the field. Suddenly his hand was pulled by someone. The ketos. The cold Joshua pulled Yuna's arm. Tying her left leg with Yuna's right. Yuna was still dumbfounded as Shua led her to the starting line.
"Ready?" he asked while looking at Yuna. Yuna nodded. Only once was he so close to Shua's body.
"Ready!! Start!!!" Mr. Joko's shout was greeted by the support of the spectators beside the field. There were about ten couples in the race.
"Good cooperation" Shua said as she untied the rope at their feet.
"Yuna's knee is bleeding" he continued.
"It's okay." Yuna felt uneasy as Shua looked at those slightly large legs.
"Wait, I got plaster in the bag." Shua ran small towards the pile of bags of disciples that were made one and returned quickly. He squatted down and stuck the plaster onto Yuna's knee.
"Thank you, Brother Shua." Yes, Joshua is Yuna's upperclassman. He's in eleventh grade now.
"Together." Shua left Yuna who was still standing speechless there.
"It's really cool that you can pair with Shua's sister." Becca pats Yuna from behind.
"I was just surprised" Yuna said.
Since that incident, Yuna has often stolen a glance at Joshua. The training became so much fun, it didn't feel as boring as before. Shua is the prettiest guy in the room. Yuna doesn't think she's the only girl who often steals glances at Shua. A lot of girls do the same thing.
Three days after the training was completed. Yuna finds a binder with a plain red cover on her school desk when she arrives. He opened the binder. It is like a story about leadership training activities at Atmajaya guesthouse yesterday. But the interesting thing is, the female character in the story is herself. And the main male character in the story is...Joshua, the chairman of OSIS.
"When I saw you with wet hair in the middle of that flower garden, I realized you were so beautiful. May I get to know you more closely? Will you be my girlfriend? Please write your answer here. I'll take it when I get home from school." The closing sentence in the story made Yuna close her mouth. He did not believe what he read. The popular guy expressed his feelings for a fat girl like her. It's not real, he thought.
Yuna told Becca everything during her first break.
"Gini deh, Brother Vino is the same class Joshua. I'll ask him later. Looks like they're pretty familiar, maybe Shua told Vino" Becca said. He immediately looked for his brother during the second break.
"Yuna, it turns out that Shua is being challenged by her friends. They said you must have received Joshua 12 hours after Shua shot you. Crazy about them. It's so hard." Becca hits her desk. Yuna fell silent. Fortunately, he was used to being verbally bullied by his friends so he could hold back his tears. But still he was sad because Joshua was playing with his feelings.
"That's it. I don't have any feelings for him either. Becca, please don't tell anyone about this. I'm.shame." said Yuna. Becca patted him on the shoulder as if giving him support. Yuna wrote a few sentences on that binder to return to Joshua.
When the bell rang, Shua stepped into the 10-2 class on the 2nd floor. It turned out that there Yuna was already waiting for her with a binder in her hand. Shua smiled at Yuna. A smile that Yuna rarely saw while in the OSIS room. Yuna gave the binder with a smile. After that he waved his hand and passed with Becca. Shua immediately opened the binder and read the contents Yuna had written for her.
"Sorry Brother Shua, but I still don't want to date. Thanks." Thanks." That'sallthatis. Shua's facial sharpness turned from spirit to wither. He was very confident that Yuna would accept him. He realized when Yuna often glanced at him.
Yuna opened her diary and wrote her annoyance on that day. He thinks Joshua is a good guy. He did not expect that Shua was a playboy who would play with women's feelings. Goddamn bum. Yuna closes her diary and forgets Joshua the playboy.
